This article uses the semi-analytical approach to study the combined nonlinear vibration and nonlinear response of a damped porous microplate under nonuniform periodic parametric excitation to understand the complete nonlinear dynamic behavior of the plate. The plate is supported by a Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundation and modeled using modified strain gradient and third-order shear deformation theories to simulate the small-scale effects and shear deformation, respectively. Using Hamilton’s principle, the governing partial differential equations of motion are derived and solved using Galerkin’s method to convert them into ordinary differential equations (ODEs). These ODEs are solved using a combined incremental harmonic balance (IHB) and arc-length continuation approaches to get the nonlinear vibration (frequency–amplitude curves). The same ODEs are solved using the Newmark-β technique to obtain the nonlinear response (time–amplitude curves). The effect of elastic foundation parameters and aspect ratio on mode shape is presented. The effect of parameters such as the porosity coefficient, type of porosity, Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundation parameters, different size-dependent theories, plate thickness, size of plate, damping coefficient, different loading profiles, and loading concentrations on the nonlinear vibration and nonlinear response is examined. Also, the dependence of initial displacements on the frequency–amplitude curves with respect to the excitation frequency is demonstrated with the help of time-amplitude curves. |
